Servings: persons

1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapenos (petite diced)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 cups cooked turkey or 3 cups chicken, shredded
8 corn tortillas
cooking spray (Canola oil or olive oil)
1 avocado, pitted
1/4 cup salsa
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup low-fat monterey jack cheese, shredded

1
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375u00b0F.
2
Bring tomatoes and their juice to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Add turkey (or chicken) and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, coat tortillas on both sides with cooking spray. Divide the tortillas between 2 large baking sheets. Bake, turning once, until crisped and lightly brown, about 10 minutes.
4
Mash avocado in a bowl. Stir in salsa, sour cream and cilantro until combined.
5
To assemble tostadas, spread each crisped tortilla with some of the avocado mixture. Top with the turkey (or chicken) mixture, lettuce and cheese.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
